Hi Ian,
Thanks Tim for putting a link for members to look at. There is also another thread which covers this strange bird. If you search under the thread "14th /20th Hussars (head facing right)" you will get some more info.
Apologies I can't remember how to put a link on the message!
My personal opinion is that is a Firmin manufacturers error.
There I suspect there may have been a short run of these made before someone realised there had been a cock up!
Still, a scarce anodised "Hawk" and one that is not found in many collections.
Would appreciate if members wouldn't use my pictures on their posts on the Forum.
Kind Regards
Colin
